Needed a beer while working on my final project, so I grabbed this one. Nice head. Well, this is the best beer I?ve had out of the Belgium mixer 6er I?ve picked up so far. This one I actually like.

Golden amber with a lasting thin sticky head. Strong aroma honey, peach-apricot and a bit of yeast. A little rough and dirty for a Tripel. Lots of fruit flavour similar to aroma with a bitterness to it.

Sampled from gnoff’s bottle, at Tre små rum 2008-05-28. Hazy orange (with small particles in it), plenty of fluffy off-white head. Bananas in aroma (kind of wheat-beer-ish) and spices. Surprisingly bitter taste, bread tones and more bananas. Spritzy.

Poured from the bottle into a trappist glass. Good, crisp Belgian aroma with a sweet candy and fruity smell mixed with some lighter citrus hops. A pale amber to dark straw color with an average sized, slightly creamy, white head that had good retention and cling. The flavor was somewhat disappointing however, featuring a sweet candy taste with a lightly bitter citrus undertone, but also seemed heavily watered. The body too was somewhat thinner and watery, with a good fizzyness and slightly dry finish. It’s a good beer, but not great, I was hoping for better.

Pale yellow with a very large white head, mostly lasting, fine lacing. Aroma heavy malty (fruity, spicy), light hoppy. Flavor heavy sweet, light bitter. Medium/full body, heavy carbonated.

very light, almost pilsner-ish with a large rocky head. Orange and a bit of soap/corriander in the aromas. Flavors are delicate, a slight nuttiness, orange, an a hint of flinty hop bitterness and a touch of sweetness in the finish.
